Frigidaire 5304531775 Drum Mixing Vane (Gray) OEM Part

I moved the dryer away from the wall and unplugged it. I removed the screws holding the top in place, which allowed me to unscrew the vane. My wife held the new vane in place from inside the tub and I replaced the 3 screws which I had removed. The sensor was a little more complicated to replace. The original screw used to hold it in place was still in the interior frame inside of the tub, I removed the single screw. The original wiring was visible and appeared reusable. After several tries, I was able to attach them to the new sensor and slip the part in the place where it belonged. I attached it using the screw I had previously removed. Replaced the top cover, slid the dryer back near the wall, reconnected the outside vent hose, plugged it in and ran a test. I forgot to mention that I matched the new parts to the old parts to confirm the style and size were the same. The dryer is 11 yrs old and things can change over time. Once confirmed I proceeded to do the repair. I move slowly and study everything carefully, I took my time. I picked up some repair hints from the on-line pictures shown by AppliancePart Pros.Com when I placed my order.

Vane - Removed the top cover (2 square screws). Spin the dryer until the vane of interest is at the top. Remove 3 (square) screws, replace vane and reinstall. Moisture Sensor - Remove phillips screw holding sensor in place. Reattach 2 leads (can be tricky) and reinstall. Longest part of this task was accessing the back of the dryer given its location in a closet.

I ordered the part from APP and received it within 2 days. Once I received the part, I took the top of the dryer off, 2 screws from behind. I turned the drum to access the screws holding the vane in place, 3 screws, and took the old piece off. I lined up the holes from the new vane and screwed the piece in. In total the job was done in less than 15 minutes.
